Religion


Take any religion;
• There will be a group of people who claims to follow that religion, though not
• Those who will be identified as true followers by their conduct

For example for Jehovah’s witnesses:
Those who do the will of Jehovah and conduct their lives accordingly are the ones who will be marked as true Christians among the following 4 characteristics.

1. Their lives are governed by the principles of God’s word – John 17:17; when faced with temptations, Jesus quoted from God’s word, he taught God’s word, he had remarkable knowledge of God’s word.
2. They involve in the sanctification of God’s name – because that was what Jesus had done John 17:6
3. They involve in preaching the good news of the kingdom – Daniel 2:44- again that is what Jesus had done, who else the preaching work across the globe other than Jehovah’s witness
4. Love one another – John 13:34,35; We adorn ourselves with the cloth of Love which makes it easier to identify us – we belong to one family –Therefore it is necessary that we live as Christ’s followers – because everyone else, including who claims to be Jesus followers will be destroyed.

Not long before had written on the topic:

Even today there is lot of debate, and unrest on this topic. We all know we are one, same children of one God. Yet people need something to fight over. Prove their faith, their thoughts are right. Why? Why can we all not move forwards with unity, with oneness in our mind? Do all religion not teach us that?
